I'm glad you'll get to see them. They probably will just be doing "Bring Me To Life" and "Going Under", but that is SO better than nothing!

Omg… Viviana and I had such an amazing time!! Pepsi Smash kicked @ss!! It was even better than I thought it would be!
We got to the parking garage where we were supposed to meet at around 6:00, they had 5 different lines to stand in depending which band you were there to see. Of course we picked Evanescence!! I gave the guy my ID and he was like… “you’re not on the list” and my heart like dropped… the he said “how did you get tickets?” I said through kiis fm and he said “oh, then you’re probably on another list! Hold on, it’s coming!”. We ended up being in the blue group (the separate the fans into different color groups. We took a bus to the studio and though we were kinda lost at first we finally found the blue section we were supposed to wait in. The Ataris were doing their soundcheck and we could hear “The Boys Of Summer” from where we were standing, but we were outside the building so we couldn’t see anything. They then let Viv and I ask a question that may be aired on the TV show! I hope it is! We originally asked it for Evanescence, but they said it may be used for the Black Eyed Peas. I said “I’d prefer Evanescence, but either would be good!” our question was “What’s the craziest thing a fan has done at a concert?”. Our group leader, Stacy, told us that we had the best seats in the place because we were going to be behind the stage and get on camera a lot! I still think the floor woulda been best… but we still had great seats! We were the first group let into the studio and took our seats in our section, we sat like 4 rows back from behind the stage.
This guy named Mario came out at first to get us hyped up! He said many times that our section was the best! Cause we were the loudest and most energetic! Heck yeah we were! Stacy’s section rocks!!
The hosts of the show were the stars of Everwood! The guy, Gregory I think, is really hot! Hehe.
The Ataris were the first ones out… they opened with “The Boys Of Summer” and then did “In This Diary”. Omg they were awesome!!! I would defiantly want to see them in concert again! And the lead singer is hot! Lol, right Viv? *wink*
The next out were The Black Eyed Peas! And ofcourse they rocked! I saw them last month and loved them and they were even better this time!! They did “Where Is The Love” and “Anxiety”. A cool part was when Papa Roach came out and did Anxiety with them! That song rocks! And I like papa roach so that was awesome that they came as a surprise! Before the concert started I noticed that the equipment on stage all said “Papa Roach” on it… and I was wondering why, but that answered my question! The sound wasn’t good enough on Anxiety the first time, so they had to do it again, which was fine by me!
Then I turned around and saw Ben Moody like 5-8 rows back in our section! I got excited and wondered what he was doing back there! I kept wanting to see one of the band members because I knew I wouldn’t totally believe that I was gonna see Evanescence till I did see one of them… then when I saw him it hit me and I got even more excited!
The next out was Monica! She did good, I think she’s a awesome girl and a great performer, but I don’t like her song, “So Gone” (which was the only song she did).
Gavin DeGraw was next! He was good and very cute! I didn’t know he was a piano player! But he did a great job live and I think I’m gonna get his CD! But I wasn’t totally into his set cause I knew Evanescence was next and I just wanted to see them! Lol. Gavin sang “Follow Through” and “Chariot”
At the end of Gavin DeGraw there was a lil break to get ready for Evanescence (there are breaks between all the sets, but this one was special). Ben Moody and Amy Lee were in the back of our section again! This time for a interview with the Everwood girl. I looked back at Ben and waved and smiled at him and he looked at me and waved and smiled back! That was like the highlight of the night! He seems really nice!
The Evanescence came out on stage! They were BY FAR the best performers of the night! When they came out I kept trying to get Amy’s attention, she was only like 10-15 feet away from where we were sitting, but it was loud so this was hard. The girl next to me was like “let’s scream together!” so we did and it worked! She turned around and waved at us and did a lil spin and a curtsey, lol. I also tried yelling for John and Rocky, but it didn’t work. They sang “Going Under” and “Bring Me To Life”! it was expected that they’d sing those 2! They did such an amazing job… there are no words for it!
Then The Ataris came back out again, which was a pleasant surprise! They sang “In This Diary” again along with “Your Boyfriend Sucks” and “Teenage Riot”! during “In This Diary” a lot of the audience jumped up on stage and like mobbed the band, someone stole a microphone in the process and this guy said the band wouldn’t sing until they got it back, and so they did and the band went on. The audience also jumped onstage at the end of “Teenage Riot”.
Then there was an announcement that Evanescence would be coming back out again to do one more song as well! I freaked out! Lol, I was so happy! They did “Haunted” and it rocked!!! Amy said the show was turning out better than she tought, she liked that it seemed more like a real show than a TV taping! Since Amy’s got awesome style… I’ve got to comment on her outfit, she wore I think silver dickies, a pink shirt with a black and pink pull over and had her hair in a pony tail. And she had awesome eye makeup… red eye shadow which kinda dripped down over her eyes!
We were the last section to be dismissed. Lol, we were the first ones in and the last ones out so we got to stay the longest which was cool. Then we took a bus back to where Viv’s car was and drove home. We almost got lost, but we made it!
Sooo… that was my very long review!! Lol. I had an amazing time! Look for me and Viv when it airs! I was wearing a black tank top, and have blonde hair (I wore it down), and a white skirt. I think it’ll air next Wednesday on the WB at 9pm!
oh... and we weren't allowed to bring cameras so no pics!

Wilshire
Trapt

-
Tonight was awesome!!! We had a lot of fun! I went with Viviana and Jillian! We got there a little bit before 6pm and checked in, we went in the Trapt line because that’s who we wanted to see the most! We were very happy to find out that we had the white tickets! Cause last time white meant floor! When we got to the studio we waited for like an hour or an hour and a half outside… then we were let in and got places right next to one of the stages! The camera man started talking to the girls next to me… but I didn’t know he was talking to me too. But all of a sudden he tapped on my shoulder and was like “why weren’t you listening to me?” and I was like “oh! Sorry! But I heard what you said! That we’re sposed to move if you need to get next to the stage and to get very excited when the camera is on us!” and he said “o, ok, sorry, I’m usually used to people paying attention to me!!” so I was like, “oh sh!t… he’s pissed” after he left. Jessica Biel hosted the show! She’s so pretty… I’m so jealous! Lol.
The first person to perform was Beyonce! She did great, she has awesome stage presence and lots of energy! She had to perform “Crazy In Love” twice because the first time the sound wasn’t right, and then she did “Baby Boy”. She also did “Naughty Girl” but that will be played at the end of the show!
The next performance was “Queens Of The Stone Age”. OMG! They rocked!!!! I would totally go see them again! They sang “No One Knows” and “Go With the Flow”. The guitarist infront of me (he had longish black hair) had crazy shoes so at the end I complimented him on them and he smiled and gave me a nod. Then the lead singer (with the red hair) was near where we were in the audience!! So I went over to him and he gave me a hug! Yay! That rocked!
The next performance was Bow Wow! He was really good! Very cute! Lol, he’s still lil even though he dropped the lil from his name! he sang “Let’s Get Down”.
The Wilshire was up next. The camera man (the one I thought was pissed at me) came and stood next to me to get his shot, so I started to move to give him more room and he was like “it’s ok, you don’t have to move, it’s ok!”. So I got to stay in front. Wilshire had to sing “Special” twice! They were really good! And such a cute couple! (theyre married!). for the last part of the song, I saw the camera guy was pointing like straight at me! He noticed I was into them cause I was singing along! Lol. I asked him what stage Trapt would be on (there are 2 stages) and he said “I think theyre on the other stage, but you can make your way over there! Just pinch all the cute guys butts on the way. You know how pretty girls do it, they get everything and do nothing” lol… he was funny.
Trapt was the last, and I can defiantly say they saved the best for last!!! They were amazing!! I want to see them again live!! We moved closer to the other stage for this one… and ended up being near the circle in the middle! The lead singer, Chris Brown, is freaking hot! I shook his hand three times during their performance! They sang “Still Frame” and “Head Strong”. Then they were like “since you’re a f*cking awesome crowed we’re going to sing a couple more songs!” so they sang “New Beginning” (I think) and “Hollow Man”!! omg… I love them!!! I have one of the drum sticks now from when they threw it in the audience! Ive always wanted to get one. Someone offered me 5 bucks for it but I was like heck no! before we left the same camera man I talked about was like “thankyou baby”. Which shows that sometimes the people you think hate you can turn out to be your friends, lol.
Then we took the bus back to where our car was (we had to wait forever for a bus though!) and stopped at jack in the crack (haha) and ate at my house.
But yeah… awesome night! Look for us next Wednesday (july 23rd) on the WB at 9pm! I was wearing a pink tube top and jeans… Viv was wearing a yellow shirt, and Jill was wearing blue! We were right infront of the stage QOTSA and Wilshire performed on!
-
The Ataris were pretty good. I was somewhat impressed, even though I think the lead singer yelled a little too hard when it wasn't needed at times lol.

ooo... it must be different live, cause i thought they were awesome... they were most of the peoples fave performance (but mine was Ev)
did you see me? lol
-
My thoughts on tonights show.
The Ataries were pretty good. The interview, FUCK that was rehersed. Straight from the mental rollerdex of answers.
I hate the Black Eyed Peas but Where Is The Love has a good hook. Wonder if its a sample from an oldie. hmm
Evanescence was great! I wasnt diggin Amy's eye makeup tho. But I swear as time has gone by I'm really appreciating John's vocal contributions. He hit it perfect on there.
Quite enjoyable.

i thought the show was awesome! it was so much fun reliving it! and i saw my friend and i like 20 or more times... but you'd have to know where to look to see me. there was only one closeup that i was in, and it was a flash, so i doubt anyone caught it and recognized us! if someone posts a video of it i'll post a picture of us tho! lol. it's cool being on TV! :D i cant wait till next wednesday! they cut quite a few songs for the TV show tho! like Gavin deGraw's "Follow Through", The Atari's "Teenage Riot" and "Your Boyfriend Sucks" and Evanescence's "Haunted". i dont really have many comments of the show... since i said it all in my review last week! but it was definatly better live!

heres my review from tonight's pepsi smash!
Yay! Goodtimes tonight! Pepsi Smash was awesome as usual!!!
I went with Brooke, Daniel, Theresa and Jillian! Luckily Jill got a ticket last minute! Viviana was sposed to come… but she couldn’t make it! We missed you girl!
we left the house a lil after 5 and made it to where we were sposed to meet at like 5:45! When we got in line we asked to get the floor tickets and they gave them to us! Yay! We soon got on the bus to go to the studio and made our way to the front of where we were sposed to be waiting, luckily we got pretty close up! After like an hour of waiting we were let in the studio and got the area right next to the middle circle stage! I think it was the best spot to be!
Allison Hannigan (sp?), the girl with the red hair from American Pie and played Willow on Buffy, was the host this time! She was SO nice! Very down to earth and friendly! She came near us a lot and I got to talk to her quite a bit… I complimented her bracelet and she was like “thanks! Lol, none of it’s mine!” and then later she asked me “wasn’t Interpol great?!” I also got her autograph which was cool! She was an awesome host! The best yet I think!
The first act was Simple Plan! They were AWESOME! Seriously… amazing live! And Pierre…. Omg… HOT!! I know I’ve talked about hotties from other Pepsi Smash’s… but he tops them all! They sang “I’d Do Anything” and “Addicted”. And said they’d probably be back later, so we looked forward to seeing them again!
The next act was Michelle Branch! I was kinda thinking she’d be better than she was… cause everyone says she’s amazing. She was really really good! But not one of my fave performances! I thought she was amazing when I saw her at Wango Tango 2 years ago tho! I was looking forward to her the most! People in the audience around me were saying she looked kinda mad/upset so maybe she was having a bad night. She looked really pretty tho and I liked her shirt! She sang “Are You Happy Now”, “Breathe” and “All You Wanted”. I’d defiantly want to see her again in concert!
The next performance was Interpol! They sang “Obstacle 1”. I like the beat but I don’t like the lead singer’s singing style… so I wasn’t a huge fan, but they were pretty good! The thing that was kinda annoying tho is that they had to sing it 3 times… so we all got sick of the song! Lol. The first time one of the guitarists strings broke… the 2nd time his strap broke.
The next performance was Chingy! I wasn’t totally excited about seeing him before I went, but he was my fave part of tonight! Ofcourse he sang “Right Thur” (twice cause I guess the sound was off the first time). He just had such great energy and stage presence on stage (and he looks cute in person)! And he knew how to work the crowd! They spent a great deal of time on the middle stage where we were which was awesome! He grabbed my hand and like most celebs I expected him to shake my hand quick and let go… but he held my hand for atleast 10 or 15 seconds kinda swaying my hand with him and looking at me! I was like dancing with him! It was awesome! I danced with Chingy! Lol. He shock my hand a couple other times during the performance and looked at me a lot (I think it’s cause I stick out cause I’m tall… and I was like right next to him! Lol). Then he came back awhile later to introduce the top 5 countdown and he gave me a high five and smiled and winked at me! I didn’t see him act like this with anyone else… I think we had a connection! Lol, jp jp!
The next performace was Godsmack! They did an acoustic performance of “Serenity” which was pretty cool! And then the lead singer was like “now we’re going to f*cking rock this place!!” and did a performance “Straight Out of Line” (I think that’s the name). they were good. The lead singer is like tiny tho… I was expecting someone bigger with a voice like that! Lol. Brooke says I do a pretty good impression of him singing! Lol
Then… SIMPLE PLAN came back!! Yay!! Their guitarist was funny! Lol, he was pretending to play the flute and then proceeded to pretend to stick it up Allison’s butt… I don’t think she noticed even tho he did it twice! Lol. They sang “Growing Up” and in the middle of the song some people started jumping on stage! Jillian and I did too! It was soooo awesome being onstage like that!! The guitarist was like “I don’t think ive ever had so many people grab my butt… while I was performing before” Then they sang “Perfect” which is going to be their next single! It is SUCH a cute song! And I shook Pierre’s hand like 3 times! And I touched his shoe at a point too! Lol. Omg… I love him! Lol.
ooo... and remember the camera guy i talked about last week? lol, he remembered me! he was like "hey again!" on the way in! and said "goodnight baby" when i left. and i said thanks to Rob and he heard me! lol, i thought he needed some appreciation after fighting with that jerk near us.
Then we went out… and after an hour and a half of waiting to get on a bus we finally made it back to our car. And we were all starving so we stopped at Rallys and ate in the car before driving home! It was an awesome time tonight! My order of fave performances are:
1. tie between Simple Plan and Chingy
3. Michelle Branch
4. Godsmack
5. Interpol

my goal is to go to every one... but the august 5th one is kinda sketchy cause i have to get up at 4am on august 6th to fly to nyc! and thats the one Rooney will be at! i dont know much about them... but Jewel will be there too that day and i really wanna see her! so we'll see if i go... i cant sneak backstage, but i can try to get you an autograph... i cant make any promises tho!
-
that's okay, i understand! but if you do get a chance to go, you even tryingto get me an autograph would be freakin awesome! i was so mad when i couldn't go see them at lollapalooza, and after the smash they're going on european tour, so it'll be a while before my next chance to see them :( anywhos, if you can't make it, it's okay!
-

Pepsi Smash was awesome tonight! But soooooo long! It took about 3 hours when normally it takes 2! We got spots next to the center circle stage again! Which was awesome!
The host this week was Gabriella Union (sp?) but she was the lead cheerleader of the clovers in Bring It On and starred as Eva in Deliver Us From Eva (with ll cool j). she was beautiful and very very nice!! I met her and got her autograph!
The first band to perform was Staind!!! They did amazing! Aaron (sp?) is a great singer, I love his voice. They did “For You” and “So Far Away”.
The next band was Maroon 5! They rocked!! Adam did awesome and yes Mandy, Ryan is very cute!! They sang “Harder To Breath” and “This Love”.
The next performer was Pharrel! He was awesome! He is so cute! Lol, and I love his singing style! He sang “Frontin’” twice, which is a great song!! I love it. Clipse came out and did his lil rap as well! I almost touched his hand… I was like a millimeter away! Lol.
The next performer was Jason Mraz and he sang “The Remedy” twice! He rocked! And I swear he is like JoJo’s long lost brother!! Lol. They look kinda similar!
The next performer was Mya and she looked great as always! She is also very nice! She sang “My Love is Like Wo” twice. Right before she did it the second time she kinda cut her knee so they had to wait a bit for the bleeding to stop. There was a lil dance break in the song where all these other dancers come up from off stage, like 4 gay guys dressed in bright colors and feather boas! Lol. They were good dancers!
Then Jason Mraz came back and sang “Curbside Prophet” and did awesome again!
Then after a loooong wait Mya came back and sang “Sophisticated Lady” and this time she was wearing these high heeled boots and almost fell, she was joking and was like “first my knee, now my boots, ya’ll are trying to kill me!” lol. She did an awesome job on this song as well.
Then Jason Mraz came back again. it was cute! before he started singing he was like "i love you Mya". he sang “You and I Both”. And he rocked! After he finished his song I ran over to the stage he was on and got his autograph!! Yay!!
Then Mya came back and introduced the Top 5 countdown and I met her and got her autograph as well!
Then came what I thought was the best part of the show… Staind came back for an encore and sang “It’s Been Awhile”. Omg, they killed it! Seriously awesome job!!! They are amazing live!
Then we all got to leave… and since for once we weren’t the last section to be let out we didn’t have to wait as long for a bus! Lol… but while we were waiting we were all like dying from having to stand for 4 or 5 hours and the guy who was working there was like “cuddle and we’ll survive” so this other girl I went up and gave him a hug cause everyone was like leaving him hanging there! Lol. But seriously… at that point I woulda given anything to sit down!!
I just got home a bit ago and saw my old boss!!! I missed him so it was awesome to see him again, even tho he was kinda intoxicated, lol. My parents, him and my mom’s friend’s family were all over my house and he had brought lobster from his home, Maine! Ahhh… I missed that! But I had an awesome night tonight anyways! And they saved lobster for me to eat tomorrow!! Yay!! I can look forward to that! He’s a great cook! Lol, he makes a living off of making food! Right now I’m eating some of his soup! Yum!

The first band to perform was Staind!!! They did amazing! Aaron (sp?) is a great singer, I love his voice. They did “For You” and “So Far Away”.
Then came what I thought was the best part of the show… Staind came back for an encore and sang “It’s Been Awhile”. Omg, they killed it! Seriously awesome job!!! They are amazing live!
hell yeh! I'm glad you got a chance to see them perform. Aaron is incredible, no doubt about it! The emotion he delivers with every song... So you a fan now? hehe

So Far Away is a great song! (http://www.trixiedish.com/happynow.html)

yeah, he definatly gave it alot of emotion! i'm not a fan like i am of Ev or Nessa... but yeah, i'm a fan! i like their stuff! :) i think i'll get their cd when i can.
this is one of the things i love about pepsi smash, i get to see artists for free that i wouldnt normally go to see in concert. and i'm fans of so many more bands now that i wasnt before!
-
you know what was sad about last night? there are usually 800 people allowed into the studio, that was their legal capacity allowed. but like 45 mins before the show started the fire marshall showed up and lowered that number down to 650! so over 100 people who had been waiting and gotten their tickets had to go home before the show started! when we were waiting to get in (We were in the floor section and the last section to be allowed in) they were taking forever to allow us in, but luckily my friend and i were allowed in... but i feel so bad for all those other people. i know i woulda been upset if i had driven all that way and didnt get to see the show afterall.
-
Tonights Pepsi Smash was awesome as usual!!! =) I went with Viviana, Domenica and Heather!
We got there around 6 and got the floor section again! we kinda got to the front of the section while we were waiting lil by lil… lol.
When they first started we wanted to be by the north stage where we knew Rooney and Cold were going to be… but they made everyone go towards the south stage!!
Jewel started! She was awesome! She seems very down to earth and stuff so that was cool! She sang Intuition, Stand and Who Will Save Your Soul. You could tell that during WWSYS that she didn’t know the words any more… lol, she was like making stuff up!
Then Rooney came on! We got right next to the stage! Which made this girl behind us mad… omg, she was such a jerk. She kept pushing me and talking about me behind my back. Let’s just say I didn’t like her at all… lol. I guess she was a fan and wanted to be next to the stage, and I would have if she wasn’t so mean, but not after she acted like that!
Anyways… Rooney was really good! They kinda have a 70’s style to them with the clothes and haircuts! Their music is really good!!
The next onstage was Nappy Roots, they sang one song, I don’t know what it is, but I think it’s whatever their single is now! They had to sing it twice. Then they sang “Po’ Folks” and I kinda like that song… but they had to sing that one twice as well! I just wasn’t feeling them… but I think it’s partly because I just wanted Cold to come out! Lol.
The next band was Cold who was by far the best part of the night!! I saw them at the Nintendo Fusion tour and really liked them then! I had taken pictures of them that I got developed today and brought them along hoping I could get them signed! We were next to the stage again, we made a deal with some Rooney fans that if they let us infront for Cold, we’d let them infront when Rooney came back for the encore! I was able to get Scooter’s (the lead singers) attention and held up the photo! At first he acted like he wasn’t going to come over and sign it! But he did! I said I took the picture last night and they rocked and he just smiled and nodded while he signed. Then I had a cool picture of Sam (the drummer) so I held that up and Sam nodded and smiled, so we thought he’d come over later but he didn’t! They sang “Stupid Girl” which rocked!! Omg. Then they left, but came back again and Scooter said something like “since you guys rocked so much, we’re going to sing it again!” So they did!!! yay!! Then I was holding my pictures and this guy who worked with them was standing next to me and asked to see them. He told me how it was the first time they used that backdrop and I said it was awesome. He told me he’d get Sam to sign my picture so he took it and went backstage! Later on he came back and gave me the autographed picture and said “He says that’s awesome! He really liked that picture!” so that made me happy! =) Later on the same guy came back over to us and handed Domenica and I each a drumstick saying they were from Sam!! It was soooo nice of them!! Thanks to whoever that guy was… cause he made my night!
Then Ben Harper came out and sang his single which is called something like “both your hands” he was ok! But they had to do the song twice! Then he sang “stealin’ kisses” which was awesome cause I love that song!!!
Then Rooney came back and sang 2 more songs! Theyre good!
And thankfully our section was the first one they let leave! So we got on the first bus for the first time ever! We always have to wait for a bus for a long time! We got back to the car about 10:30 which is like the earliest we ever have!
So yeah… it was a good night!! But I have to get up in like 3 hours to go to the airport! I think I’m just gonna stay up all night tho…

I'm totally jealous that you got to meet Scooter!

Pepsi smash was good tonight! We got there at around 5:30pm and waited an hour and a half so we could get a good place on the floor…. Not only did we not get a good place on the floor… but we didn’t get a place on the floor at all! They made us sit in the bleachers even though we had a white ticket which meant floor! Oh well, we still had fun! =)
The host was a comedian named Anthony ( I don’t know his last name)! He was sooo funny, he made a good host!
The first performance was the All American Rejects!! They rocked!!! Omg, and Tyson is HOT!!! They sang “Swing, Swing” and “Time Stands Still!”
The next performance was Ashanti! She did really good! She sang “Rock Wit You” and her new single “Rain on Me”
The next singer was Dido! She rocked!! Omg, I love her voice and she’s so pretty! It was kinda cool cause they did the whole performance on the lil circle stage in the middle and it was just her and a guy on an acoustic guitar! They both sat on stools and it was more intimate. She sang “White Flag”. Anthony was totally flirting with her, lol, he was like “Dido’s my white baby mama!”
The next band was Yellow Card! They rocked!!! I love their unique sound! I had never heard of them before! They’re like a punk band, but they have a violinist and I thought that was a good touch! Btw… the violinist was hot! So is Ryan, the lead singer! They sang their single, “Way Away”.
Then Dido came back to do her encore! She sang “Thank You”! Which made me happy! =)
Then Fabolous and Lil’Mo was next! They were good! Lil’Mo sang one of her songs from “Girl next door” I don’t remember which one! Then Fabolous sang “This is my Party”. Then they sang “Can’t Take You Home”! they had to redo that one! It’s the only song that was done twice this episode which was a miracle.
Then Yellow Card came out again and sang “Ocean Avenue” and “October Nights”! I love them!! I got the lead singer’s autograph! His name is Ryan and he’s hot!! The violinist is hot as well! For the first time at Pepsi Smash I met a hot guy celeb! Woo hoo!!
We didn’t have to wait too long for a bus and we got back to the car at 10:22 which I think is like a record!

I actually got a headache from the hip-hop and r&b garbage I had to sit through waiting for Dido to come on.
She was beautiful tho!

yeah... Fabulous and lil Mo kinda annoyed me watching it again... Ashanti was alright tho. and All American Rejects and YELLOWCARD were good! but i'd have to say Dido was the best!! :) and the host, Anthony, rocked! i loved his lil thing singing with Ashanti.

Tonight was the first taping of the 2nd season and it was awesome! But also very long and painful! We were there a little before 5 and had to stand outside where it was cold, for a couple hours... then we went inside and the show took forever to tape! Lenny Kravitz and Hoobastank both had to redo their songs for one reason or another... and we didnt get out of there till 10:45pm! So we were standing for 6 hours straight!!
Lenny Kravitz was first and he did really good!
Hoobastank was next and the best part of the show! They did amazing! And the lead singer is hot!
Then came Limp Bizket! They were good, but Fred is kinda and ass it seems... he didnt even want to talk to the fans. But they were really good anyways! They did "Faith" as well which was awesome!
Counting Crows was next and they did really good, but I dont think I fully enjoyed them because by that point we just wanted the hell out of there so we could sit in our car!
This was the 7th taping of this show I went to... and the least fun! But I still had a good time!
